Godfather Of Champions

As the team that reached the final play-offs last season, Reading has been regarded by the Nottingham media as the forest team's direct opponent to advance to the Premier League this season. In the first round, the Reading team was tied away by Ipswich, and as long as they beat them in the second round, the Forest team could widen the points gap with the Reading team.

But... who would have thought that the Forest team would lose so badly?

"0:3! This is a rout!" John Mortensen, who was in charge of explaining the game, commented at the end of the game. I believe he is also very clear about what will be waiting for the novice coach Stan Collymore a week after the game-typhoon warning!

"The forest without fighting spirit! 》

"The Forest of Fiasco! 》

"Collymore is helpless! 》

"0:3! 》

From the press conference after the game, the media's spearhead has been directed at the team's head coach Stan Collymore. The blame Dunn once faced, now Collymore has also tasted it.

Everything about Collymore in this game became the object of media accusations: starting lineup, bench lineup, on-the-spot command, substitution scheduling, midfield adjustment... As for the other players that Collymore bought in the summer Also poor performance, that can hardly be counted as a big sin—because everyone's attention is still on the most expensive Lebrov.

Lebrov couldn't find the feeling when facing a tall England defender. He was particularly nostalgic for Heilwood who continued to explode in the second half of last season. This increasingly mature shooter has had two consecutive rounds in his new club. A goal was scored.

"Nottingham Evening Post" even issued such a question: Who drove our top scorer? !

who is it? Of course it was the team coach Collymore.

Faced with overwhelming accusations, Collymore quickly shrugged off the blame. He believes that the team could not score a goal late at home in Reading. The reason for the lack of action in the face of the opponent's dense defense is not his tactical mistakes, but the lack of a powerful center with impact and able to compete with tall defenders . Looking at the TV camera, he said grimly: "Before the summer transfer window closes, I will ask the club board to buy a powerful center forward! At that time, I will show you what the real forest team is. !"

Evan Daugherty responded positively to Collymore's request. On August 20th, three days before the third round, he brought a powerful center forward for Collymore-Gareth Taylor (Gareth`Taylor). The 30-year-old former Burnley center, who is 1.88 meters tall and weighs 85 kilograms, is good at headers. In the second half of the 00-01 season, he was loaned to Burnley from Man`City, scored four goals in 15 games, and then joined the team for free. In the next two seasons, he represented the team in 80 games and scored 32 goals. The numbers are very average, with 16 goals in forty games in both seasons. As a forward of a first-tier team, you can't ask for too much, this result is good enough.

Collymore’s words gave the Burnley Club the qualification to start the price. The big man’s worth rose from 200,000 to 550,000, and finally Evan Daggerty was brought to the city stadium, the media, and fans. We meet.

At the press conference and the fan meeting, Collymore happily patted Taylor on the shoulder and announced to the media: "I am very happy to get Taylor. He is a great player. With him, we can hit The door to all the teams in the first division!"

Shattered the gates of all teams?

Mrs. Cardi smiled, and they left the City Stadium contentedly with three points, leaving Collymore with a 1:2 score and a mess.

The visiting team Cardiff scored two consecutive cities in the opening ten minutes and completely stunned Nottingham Forest. The home team didn't get a point from Reid with a free kick until the 70th minute of the game, but it didn't help. Collymore sent Lebrov and Taylor to team up as a striker. This pair of forwards he had high hopes did not score a goal, which made him lose face.

In the face of the media and fans who have already complained, Collymore found a new excuse-"Taylor has only been on the team for just three days, and he has not even had time to practice with the team. The cooperation is not tacit. It's normal. But I believe that as long as you give me a little more time, I promise you will see a powerful Nottingham Forest!"

What a great saying!

How wonderful it sounds!

Feeling the tremendous pressure from the outside world, the Forest team and Collymore finally won. They defeated Coventry 3:1 away. But what embarrassed Collymore was that his trusted Rebrov and Taylor still failed to score. The first two goals of the Forest team were scored by Andy Reid in the 19th and 61st minutes respectively. Yes, the third goal was scored by David Johnson, who came off the bench in the 77th minute, in the 85th minute. There was nothing wrong with Lebrov and Taylor.

The league played four rounds, and the team's top scorer turned out to be Andy Reid, who served as the left midfielder, who scored three goals.

Twenty-year-old Reid gets a salary of 1,000 pounds a week, while the 29-year-old Rebrov’s salary is as high as 11,500 pounds a week, the highest in the team. In terms of salary, Reid is less than one-tenth of Rebrov's, and the number of goals scored is three times that of the Ukrainians. This is really ironic!

Just when Collymore felt he could breathe a sigh of relief, on the last day of August, in the fifth round of the League, Nottingham Forest played against Norwich at home. His team was forced to 0:0 at home. At the beginning of taking office, he assured the media and fans that they would see beautiful offensive football. The implication was that his predecessor was not beautiful at all. What about now?

His predecessor, Tony Dunn’s Forest team may not be as good as the current Forest team in terms of player quality, but they were able to beat Stoke City at home 6-0, while Collymore’s team didn’t even have Novi. Qi can't win, and can't even score a goal.

Rebrov has been able to clearly hear the boos directed at him from the stands of the City Stadium. Taylor's life is not easy. With a height of 1.88 meters, he can't even score a header.

"Goal! Goal! Goal! We need to score! "The media are chanting, and fans are also questioning why a combination of two million pounds and one half million pounds can not even score a goal.

After five rounds of the 2003-04 season, Nottingham Forest, which was considered by the media to be the favorite to advance to the Premier League, had two wins, two losses and one tie, with only seven points, ranking 12th in the league. This start is worse than Paul Hart's start last season.

"Nottingham Evening Post" conducted a small random survey on the streets of Nottingham, and believes that the number of fans who will return to the Premier League at the end of this season has dropped from 71% before the season to 36%. Sixty-two percent of fans believe that the reason for this bad situation is the incompetence of the team’s head coach Stan Collymore, and even 4% of interviewees think that if Collymore continues to coach the ball Team, then by the end of this game, the Forest team will not be able to stay in the first division-people will find the name of Nottingham Forest in the list of participating teams in the second division next season.

Before agreeing to be the head coach of the Forest team, Stan Collymore thought coaching the team was as simple as scoring a goal. But now he is already burnt.

As to how to improve the team's performance, he has no plan in his mind. Maybe he can only play as Lebrov and Taylor, who have high hopes of him, explode quickly and score a goal to save the emergency.

During the pre-season preparation period, Collymore threw almost all of his training to Des Walker and ignored him. Even if he often doesn't come to the training ground, the ghost doesn't know where he ran. Maybe he was lying in a woman's arms, maybe he was drunk and threw up in front of the toilet...

Des Walker is also very helpless about this. He reminded Collymore several times to pay attention to how badly his actions as the head coach will have on the players. But let him say "I am the boss here," and he went back.

Looking at a team whose morale is low because of poor performance, he, the assistant coach, feels that he is doing nothing. Walker suddenly missed Dunn, who was in the youth team, and didn't know how he was doing in the north.

If he were here, he would definitely not let things develop to this point. I really can’t figure out why Mr. Chairman wants to dismiss Dunn...Hey, Mr. Chairman sitting high on the second floor, open your eyes and have a look. Is Coleymore better than Dunn? Can anyone tell me where he is strong?

When Collymore was blamed for the poor performance of the team, Dunn’s youth team won three consecutive victories in the fourth group of the Youth League, beating Leicester 4-1 at home and 2 away. :0 beat Derby County, 1-0 at home with a small victory over Walshall. In addition, the team also defeated West Bromwich (West Bromwich) youth team 2:1 in the first round of the FA Youth Cup on August 19 and advanced to the second round. On September 27th, they will play against the Bradford Youth Team at home.

When Dunn was in charge of youth team affairs, he discovered his own strengths and shortcomings. Like the first team, he is still not good at training players. He may be able to say something in general directions, such as suggesting a player to do more. Certain aspects of training, but he could not give a detailed training plan. Dunn knew in his heart that this might be a defect that accompanied him throughout his coaching career. But he didn’t plan to work hard to improve his ability in this area. People’s energy and time are limited. If you are good at some aspects, you will be bad at others. The delusion of making yourself an all-rounder is not for Dun En, who is a monk. possible.

His ability to train players is lacklustre, but his ability to direct team games and train players' psychology makes assistant coach David Chris Lak feel ashamed. This person who joined him from under Paul Hart lamented that Dunn was a bit overkill in leading the youth team here.

"Tony, your court is not here." After training one day, he pointed to the training ground of the Vilford training base and said to Dunn, "Where should your court be..." He pointed to Dongfang again. It is the direction of the city stadium.

"David, you are right, my stadium is there. But not now, I have to wait..." Tang An muttered looking at the dusky sky in the east.
